The old BB, might just shove this in the parts bin.
A cheapie £9.99 VP components 68mm shell x 118mm spindle.
Knocked out a couple hundred miles over last several months, it's been quiet and reliable and is still fully useable.
Weighed it in at 281 grams for the BB and the supplied crank bolts are another 32 grams so it's actually lighter than the shorter spindle Shimano UN55 107mm.
Hopefully Shimano old school reliability still applies to square taper BB's :)
